4 i" with white canvas THE ALL-CANADIAN BRIDGE since people began travel- country to another tiiers were able to fois rivers wading across, on foot or on This was called "ford- , but it would be im- to devise some method" of crossing rivers. Some places where the river was very wide they had ferries, little boats that kept go- ing back and forth across the whole railway roads were opened and travel be- came frequent, bridges were built. Some of the first bridges were very erude. The settlers who came to Canada from Pennsylvania more [os than one hundred years ago, for instance, travelled in sturdy wagons tops, call Conestoga Wagons, When they came to rivers that were too deep to be forded, they simply chopped down trees and built a bridge of logs. Later on covered bridges were built, These were bridges with roofs, to keep the snow off them in the winter time, and there are still a few of these left in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime Pro- vinces. They were narrow and strong enough for horses and bug- gies, but not at all suitable for to- day's motor cars and buses. Then came the great modern bridges, like the Victoria Bridge in Montreal which crosses the St. Lawrence River to St. Lambert; the high trestle bridge at Leth- bridge, Alberta, the Lion's Gate Bridge in Vancouver, and the strong high bridges in the Rocky Moun- tains. These were built of steel and were among the great bridges in the world, All these bridges were important .|to. Canada but in most ways they were the same as bridges built in other countries. Then, after World War II, Canadians built a new kind of bridge. Away up at the very top of the Saguenay River, in Quebec, is the town of Arvida and one of the biggest aluminum factories in fhe world. Aluminum has 'béen ust for many years, for kitchen pots and pans and for many other pur- poses. During the war it was used in airplane parts and engines. It is valuable because while it is very strong it is also very light. So after the war the engineers began "planning to build a bridge of aluminum. In 1950 a great new bridge across the y was op d -- the first bridge to span this great Canadian river, and the first bridge in the world built of aluminum. This bridge was designed, built and created by Canadians and is one of the most interesting bridges ed | in the world. (C)--Canada Wide Feature Service Ltd.

Wednesday to eite James J. Carroll, nationally-known betting commis- sioner, for contempt of Congress to test whether a witness can be forced to testify before television cameras.

MacArthur Fears Korea Suwon, Korea, March 8 (AP). --| Gen. MacArthur said in effect Wed- nesday that no one can win the Korean war under present condi- tions. On a flying visit to the front the Allied commander warned, however, that the Communists appear to be massing their forces for a mighty new spring offensive. But MacArthur said in a statement that the Chinese Reds have no more than "an almost hopeless chance' of ulti- mate victory." He was no more . hopeful of Allied chances for victory. As the war is being fought, Mac- Arthur. said, "the battlelines cannot fail in time to reach a point of theoretical military stalemate." After the front reaches a stale- mate "our further advances would militarily. benefit the enemy more than it would ourselves." Even during a stalemate, the bat- tlefront would not be completely static. © MacArthur - explained it would fluctuate depending upon the | shifting forces by both.sides. MacArthur predicted the stale- mate under these conditions which he said now prevail: 1. "No diminution of the ene- my's flow of ground forces and material to the Korean battle area." 2. No major additions to our organizational strength." 3. "A continuation of the ex- isting limitations upon our free- dom of counter-offensive ac- tion." He did' not explain the . third point. Britain has opposed any re- newal of the drive across the bor- der into North Korea. Allied planes do not bomb Communist bases in China.
